Donald to visit threatened West Coast schools
Green Co-Leader Rod Donald is today (Monday) visiting three West Coast schools earmarked for closure. The Green MP will visit Kaiata (10am), Blackball (11.30am) and Ngahere (1pm) schools to meet with teachers and parents.
Mr Donald is offering the Green Party's support in schools' efforts to stop the Education Minister's programme of closures.
"It is particularly insulting to the Blackball community that the Labour government wants to close the only school left in the party's birthplace.
On Friday Mr Donald visited several schools in the Taieri area that will close this week.
"The
final assembly at Reid Park School was like a family
funeral, with people grieving over the loss of an integral
part of their community," Mr Donald said. "The Greens will
continue to fight these unnecessary and irresponsible
closures."
